Help with sperm extraction and insemination into me?

Post by Sarahb8725 »

My partner had a vasectomy many years ago with no chance of reversal. We are in the uk and are looking at ways to retrieve sperm from my partner and insert to me. My partner still produces sperm just dies before coming out and I am fertile.
Where do we go and what do we do?
What exactly do we need to ask for?
Thanks

Unfortunately sperm aspirated from the vas (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration-PESA) is not adequate for a simple intrauterine insemination. IVF with ICSI (direct injection of sperm into the egg) is usually required.

The good news: based on the female partner's age it can be very successful and give you a good chance of becoming a "mummy."
